Is anyone else having a problem seeing the 1/4 mile list? I can't see it.

 

[psfracer]

I can't see it either. I update the list, but it is hosted somewhere by Don W. Let me see if I can add it.

The site I have it hosted at seems to be down at the moment... I have temporarily added it as an attachment at the very bottom of the first post.

Good news... Tony (aka SixtySix) fixed the host server problem, and all is well again. Thanks, Tony!

Those numbers look great Chris! What tire pressure are you running front and back?

Stock tire pressure front and back. When I'd look at the rubber picked up on the tread with the stock pressures, it would go all the way to the edge of the tread. So I figured I wouldnt mess with tire pressures. I probably should have used some shoe polish on the edges to be sure.

There was something else I figured out last night. I accidentally left the traction contorol on one run earlier in the night when the car before me broke at the line and I had to turn off the engiine for a few minutes as they cleaned up the mess. I ended up trying with the tractionc ontrol on several times later in the night and found it doesn't make much of a difference in my 60' times when I'm slipping the clutch correctly to launch. The traction control light blinks once or twice and I still cut a 2.0X 60'

 

[marcspaz]

LOL... Cool. I have done some burnouts with the TC on and couldn't figure out why the car was stalling... ;-)

The stock pressure in the back is good (32-34 psi). I found that worked best for me too. I also found that pumping the pressure up to 47 - 50 psi up front makes the tire buldge in the middle, and reduces the rolling resistance. I dropped a 1/10 with that little bump.

Anyway great runs. Have fun...

I thought about adding more air to the front tires, but didn't think it would help that much. I use to do it on the rear tires of FWD drag cars because they are torqueless comapred to the Mustang.

I told myself that I really didn't plan to take this car to the 1/4 mile track that often, but I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I sort of gave up on drag racing in the past because it started to get way too expensive when I was trying to remain competitive in heads up classes.

 

[marcspaz]

This stuff aint cheap, that is for sure.

My car totally flounderd at the last T&T I went to. I am going to go to the track Sunday and next Saturday to see if I can make a new PB. I have spent so much money and keep slowing down. frustrating...

 

[psfracer]

Getting closer. Ran a 10.138 @ 132.39mph and backed it up with a 10.194 @ 133.55 mph at a private track day at Famoso.

Track was prepped good, temps in the low 60s, finally some 1/4 mile passes in great conditions.

 

[ZmanM3]

Good times Paul.
